There's little debate over which is better in actual quality. Some of the old splashes are woefully poor quality. Lux wasn't the worst offender, but it most definitely wasn't top quality.

Giving preference to how something looks over another thing is fine. There's no accounting for taste. Denying the increase in quality is silly.

Even so, in this case (and a few others), it certainly feels like people cling to tradition and force of habit more than actually looking at the new pieces with an open mind.

Okay but in this case we need to be very careful we differentiate between quality as in graphical fidelity and quality as in aesthetically pleasing lest we fall into the deep pit of doom that is equivocation. While it demonstrably has a higher quality in the first case, I find that to be irrelevant. I'd rather listen to Flatsound in 128kbps mp3 than Deadmau5 in FLAC.

She is borderline insane actually. Just read the lore surrounding her.

While I'd rather listen to neither, even if we substitute Flatsound with something more of my liking, I'd still not pick the 128kbps. Poor quality reduces the experience for me by so much, I'd rather pass on it entirely.

It's part of the reason you won't see me play, say, Miss Fortune. Though the new Splash art might fix that.

Vlad is just such an OP top after level 5-6. Good Vlad's (maintain those stacks DAMMIT!) can just troll an entire team with zhonya's and pool. He was on sale a little after the end of April, maybe mid-May if I had to pinpoint, so I wouldn't hold your breath (he will probably be on sale next week and now I look like an ass)

Corki nerfs hit him hard, I still see Corki's everygame- but I notice a significantly higher win rate against him now. Also Ez & Sona / Taric & Graves is too stronk for any Corki lane.

I have been watching the Koreans play Shaco, <3, man they are so damn scary with him- so much different then our meta.
